In commenting on the Cheyenne jail
break the Laramie Boomerang, among
other things, says:
The escape of the tour prisoners, one of
them a desperate murderer, from the
county Jail at Cheyenne is perhaps the
least excusable episode of that character
that has ever occurred in the entire coun
try The escape from the Laramie jail
was an entirely different affair, and one for
which neither the sheriff nor his deputies
were prepared, nor could have prevented.
Here the jailor was o~verpowered by armed
men, bucked and gagged and locked up,
and his assistants were dealt with simi-
larry. The Cheyenne officials, on the
other hand, had the advantage of the
warning taught by our experience; of the
attempt made to break Jail at Rawlins
and of previous efforts on the part of their
own prisoners this fall. They knew the
desperate character of their prisoners, had
special guards employed to watch
them, and were recently provided
with a new tier of steel cells
which were regarded as i%mpregnable
to assault from within. Yet with all
these precautions a quartette of desper-
ADDE'S have been allowed to escape and
are now at large-nobody knows where.
Resting easy under a feeling of the abso-
lutte security OF their prisoners, there Is
no claim that anyone was on guard, or
that any inspection of the cells was made,
such as would have discovered the marks
of the saw on the ceiling of the cell tank.
The four men cut their way through steel
and iron, made up dummies which they
left in their beds, climbed to the roof by
means OF the elevator shaft and a rope,
lowered themselves to the ground by the
same rope, and coolly walked away.
From these premises the Boomerang
draws the conclusion that Cheyenne is not
a suitable place in which to locate the ter
%ritorial penitentiary, which is a fact
nobody in this city will attempt to
galnsay.

HAVING spent most Of my active
railroad life in connection with and in
the midst of the development of these
great systems of railways to which l
have referred" says General Mana
ger Potter, of the Union Pacific, in an
interview, and which have grown from
single stems to vast %aggregations OF
branches, each averaging from three to
six thousand miles of prosperous and
successful railway, it appears clear to
my mind hat the surest, if not the
only way to insure the permanent sue
cess of the Union Pacific system is TO
pursue the anne policy hat has
produced these results. The small
divisions allowed to some of its
present branches hardly afford enough
revenue to properly maintain their eff.
cheney and discharge their fixed liabilities.
With the consent Of the government the
Union Pacific should support its feeders
in the same liberal manner as its powerful
competitors have and are nov doing.
This would bring to its aid private cap
tai, if needed, to occupy rich sections of
tributary country, swell the volume Of
business to the main line, and make more
certain the final payment of its debt to
the United States.

SINGING ITSELF.

asked a wee maid with winsome way
How she sang her songs through the livelong
day,
Are they woodland echoes that come at calIY
Are they fairy footsteps that round you fallS
Did you borrow or steal each happy note
From some feathered songster's bursting
throatI
Do you make them out of the fowerets gnyf
Or weave in the sunbeam's golden rayr
"Oh, / cannot tell, " said the merry elf,
II cannot help it, it sings itself"
There's a song in my heart whose gay notes ring
Louder than woodland songsters sing,
Grander than those which have found a tongue,
Sweeter than any my lips have sung,
Brighter than sunbeams or fowerets gay,
This song that sings through the livelong day.
1t never ceases, through storms or i'll
OF one sweet joy will 1t carol still.
| will borrow your phrase, my merry elf,
For this song in my heart that sings itself.

Mr.. BEECHER's d~iscourses were unique
in their intellectual range, says the Rev.
DR.. Parker in his eulogy, though not free
from a certain monotony of conception and
even form. Other men have occasionally
power; now and again they can soar high
and work miracles in thought and elo-
quencc; some invisible moon brings up
the tide of mental energy; they make
supreme efforts and suffer days after in
consequence of the unusual expenditure
of force. They thus amaze themselves
AID amaze others, and are pensively in
quired about as men who are hardly ex-
pected to recover from their infinite fatigue.
Mr.. Beecher was great without toll,
mighty without exhaustion, and so redund-
ant where his pulpit miracles then in
danger of being treated as commonplace.
Other men m were but his intro
auctions. Where they said amen to
their own.relief and the delight of many,
he said firstly" when they had given
out all their bread, he began to load
tables with intellectual l~uxuries drawn
from every field and vineyard accessible to
pulpit genius. Then the monOtony Of
mere frame work or outline was forgotten
in the multitude and vividness of the
illustrations which turned abstract truth
into concrete pictures. Mr.. Beccher had
Il supreme gift of language. His elo.
quence was like the fuency of the Allan
tic, a constant motion, a mysterious depth,
an infinite caress or an infinite assault.
